• ~Introducing Perry~                      We added a 2nd Keeshond to the house. I drove to Wheeling, WV yesterday to  pick him up from someone who very graciously met me after pulling him from a  pound where he was picked up as a stray. It was a five hour drive one way,  which wasn't terrible, but today I feel like someone wrung me out and hung me out to line dry. LOL                                       He's a really pretty boy, and will be even more so after he gains weight, is well fed and nourished and his coat grows in completely. I think someone shaved his coat  last year and it is just growing back in. That is what it looks like to me at any rate. )                He is a total  GOOF compared to Shia the Princess. I can't tell if it is the way he is, or  if it is because of all he has been through. He reminds me of a clumsy 4  year old boy!  He hasn't had any accidents in the house, and is behaving well. He is a clown though!            Friday he has his vet appointment for shots and a good once over.            He appears in perfect health, and I pray the vet check confirms that! He does have a spot on his     neck where he had a wound or abcess and the fur is all caught up. I am going to trim the fur away so I can get a better look at it, and clean the area up. Its icky. Poor thing probably was bitten by a spider or ran into a stick or something else sharp and was injured before he was picked up by the dog catcher.           Remind me one day to talk about people who dump dogs in high kill shelters and pounds like used tissues. It happens far far too often and is a subject that ticks me off to no end. He is a lucky     one...thousands more that are just as loving and sweet never get a second chance.                                                          Blessings...                                                                      Kathie
